Mr. Grosky and Neil Armstrong Email Hoax

A great story and an entertaining joke, but not true at all. This one has been
floating around so long people are starting to believe it is true. It is
not true. Here it is, completely false but reprinted for your
entertainment:

Here is the email - Remember it is a FAKE:

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he
not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic
between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control.

Just before
he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck
Mr. Gorsky." Many people
at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet
Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian
or American space programs.

Over the
years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the, "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky"
statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.

On July 5,
1995 in Tampa Bay FL while answering questions following a speech, a
reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong.

This time he
responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil felt he could answer the
question.When he was a
kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a
fly ball which landed in front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His
neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned
down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting atMr. Gorsky. "Sex! You
want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
